Staff has researched the tiny home ordinances in other jurisdictions and has developed a set of design standards. These standards have been tested on several parcels within the City to ensure that development can be accomplished. Additionally, the proposed ordinance has been reviewed by a local architect with tiny home/infill experience and those comments have The proposal includes two levels of smaller homes, which are "tiny homes" and the slightly larger' "cottage homes," which would still be smaller than a conventional single-family home. The amendment also includes a slight tweak to the multifamily design standards to ensure that spacing between buildings is consistent across building types, and to correct a cross- Ane executive summary explaining the proposed changes in detaili is attached. The proposal was posted on the City's website for comment on February 19, and numerous comments have been received. Most are positive in nature and staff will provide a summary at the hearing.

There were no further speakers signed in to speak in favor or in opposition to the request. Therefore, a motion was made by Council Member Crawford and seconded by Council A motion was made by Council Member King and seconded by Council Member Crawford to  The subject property is approximately 48.347 acres, of which 7.551 acres is an addition to an approved subdivision. Portions of the previously approved subdivision are already developed as residential, and the expansion is vacant of development. The subject property was involuntarily annexed effective December 31, 1995. The overall request for rezoning is inconsistent with the 2030 Land Use Plan (LUP) as RC (Residential Compact) is not considered a corresponding zoning district to the Suburban Neighborhood land use category or the Commercial land use category and the proposed development cannot occur without the subject parcels located within the Suburban Neighborhood land use category. The request does meet the intent for the Suburban Neighborhood land use category in accordance with Land Use Plan Policy Guidance 1.6, as the request is for smaller lot infill development which could provide a new variety of housing in the area. It also furthers the Land Use Plan's intent by setting aside open space in excess of the minimum. The stream crossing makes a unified commercial development that would reach to Poplar Tent unlikely, and the extension of the Cumberland Neighborhood would be consistent with the Urban  Neighborhood Future Land Use category.    26  The zoning amendment is reasonable and in the public interest as it demonstrates compatibility with several aspects of the 2030 Land Use Plan such as maximizing open space and providing a variety of housing type in the area.
